 Guidelines and Expectations 

• Workout Reservations Policies

  • All members must register in advance for a 30-minute time frame in which they plan to swipe-in to the CPA. YOU ARE NOT REGISTERING FOR A 30-MINUTE WORKOUT. This represents the scheduled entry time.

  • Example: if you register for 8 am-8:30 am, you must swipe-in and enter the CPA no earlier than 8:00 am and no later than 8:31 am. Early and/or late arrivals may not be honored.

  • Members are expected to limit their workout to a maximum of 90 minutes once inside the facility. Members are asked to respect this limit in order to comply with capacity limitations.

  • Registration opens 1 day prior and will close when all spots are filled and/or 30 minutes prior to the start of the swipe-in time slot.

  • Workout Reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Members can only register for one entry time slot per day.

  • Members that are no longer able to attend their workout reservation are expected to cancel their registration in advance through the portal.
